The SL280NV is said to be the first product to meet new environmental regulations established in several California markets.

Lennox Industries announced the launch of the Lennox SL280NV Ultra Low NOx gas furnace, part of the Dave Lennox Signature Collection of high-efficiency HVAC products, which allows homeowners to feel good about creating better air inside and outside their home.

This product is the first in Lennox’ new line of eco-efficient furnaces, which are the first furnaces available to purchase that meet the low-emission regulations in certain California markets that now require lower emissions to reduce air pollution. The product won the “Best of IBS” Award for "Best Green Building Product" at the recent 2018 NAHB International Builder’s Show.

The Lennox SL280NV Ultra Low NOx furnace produces 65 percent lower NOx emissions than standard low NOx furnaces, offering the ultimate in comfort and emissions compliance. With a heating efficiency rating of 80 percent AFUE, and as part of a Lennox iComfort thermostat-enabled system, the SL280NV delivers exceptional comfort all winter long and helps homeowners save energy. Lennox’ innovative technology allows for a higher heat temperature that burns more of the NOx emissions before releasing them into the air. Additionally, a variable-speed blower motor and two-stage gas valve allows the furnace to adjust airflow and heating output to help homeowners to maintain their ideal temperature throughout their home, quietly and efficiently.

“The Lennox SL280NV Ultra Low NOx gas furnace is the latest example of Lennox’ commitment to innovation and its ability to deliver premium efficiency and comfort to homeowners,” said John Whinery, vice president, product management for Lennox. “This first product in Lennox’ new line of eco-efficient furnaces offers the best of both worlds for homeowners – quiet and efficient operation with a minimum impact on the environment. It gives contractors peace of mind through its ease of installation and maintenance while providing the only product they can offer to homeowners to meet new stringent California emissions standards.”
